Sunday with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-To the Moon and Back

Hello everyone!! It is Sunday here in blog land and I hope you are having a great weekend.

Today I am on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. I created a card using the Somebunny Stamp Set and matching Bunny Fri-dies.

I actually made this card for my daughter. She will be going away to college in the fall and I am already making cards to put away to send to her. How sad is that? I am going to miss her so much!!

I started off this card by making a night sky background by layering Distress Inks and then literally shaking white, gold and silver mist over the top.

When that dried, I layered it over a white A2, top folding card. I stamped the sentiment from the Somebunny stamp set in blue on a white card stock strip and adhered it over the sky.

I then adhered a bunny that I had stamped and colored in using Copic Markers. I used tiny dots in various shades of brown to get a fur like look. I colored his tail and tummy with grays using the same technique.

What would a card be without using my favorite Fun-Fetti Fri-dies? I die cut stars out of gold, silver and white paper. I then added some glitter glue over the top of the white stars and I was done.

Some Challenge Cards

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a nice day.

It is quite cold here today but the sun is shining. Apparently we are going to have ANOTHER Nor'easter this Wednesday and yet another foot of snow. I cannot wait for March to be over at this rate. I do not want any more days off from work!!

Today I am sharing two cards that I created for some challenges. The first card is for CAS(E) This Sketch #263.

I have been using some of my pile of never opened product and dug out the "Make Mine Lemon Lime" by Spellbinders and the sentiment from Sugar Pea Designs "Pucker Up" stamp set.

I shaded in the lemon and the lemon slice with some "Mustard Seed" and "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress ink. I also covered the online in the slice and the heart with Tonic's Aqua Shimmer Glitter Pens and Glossy Accents.

The strip of patterned paper is from the Recollections "Coastal Village" paper pad that I picked up at Michael's this weekend.

I added some google eyes and a smile to complete the card.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card:

While I was on this fruit theme, I created another simple card for the Fab Friday Challenge, Sketch #133.

I took a little liberty from this sketch and hope it will be accepted. Instead of a square, I used a lime die cut from the Queen and Company "Fruit Basket Kit." I bought this last spring and had never done anything with it so I pulled it out to make some cards.

I actually made a few cards from this kit but will post them at a later date.

I shaded the limes with “Twisted Citron,” “Mowed Lawn,” and “Peeled Paint” Distress Ink.

Well, that is all from me tonight. Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 5: Little Birdies Stamp Set and Birdie Fri-Dies

Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone has had a great week!!

Today is the last day of the sneak peek of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release. The Ink Squad used the "Little Birdies" and "Birdie Fri-dies" for their projects.

I created a birthday card using this stamp set.

When I saw this stamp set I knew I was going to use it to paper piece. I started off the card by stamping and fussy cutting the birds out of some patterned paper scraps.

I then stamped the image onto a blue rectangle that I had created a hill on using a piece of green patterned paper. I adhered the paper pieces and google eyes onto the corresponding birds. Next I adhered the blue rectangle onto an A2 card front that I had covered in patterned paper.

I stamped a sentiment from the "Little Birdie" stamp set in green on to a white card strip. I used foam adhesive to pop it on the card front.

I stamped a sentiment inside the card in green.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release Day 4: Pretty Passover and Star of David Fri-Dies

Happy Thursday!!!

It is day four of the March release for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. The Ink Squad is showcasing the new "Pretty Passover" stamp set and the "Star of David Fri-Dies."

I have to admit that I started and discarded more card fronts for this card then I ever have. I tried to foil but I need different embossing powder then I have. I then used glitter embossing powder-total MESS!! I have glitter EVERYWHERE!!! But the card I created is simple but I really like how it came out.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the flower star from the "Pretty Passover" stamp set in gold. I then stamped and embossed the sentiment using the same stamp set.

I then die cut the star out using the "Star of David Fri-dies," as well as a second star. The second star I covered in pigment ink and heat embossed in gold glitter embossing powder. I adhered the glittered star over the front of the flowers.

I then adhered this to a purple, embossed A2 card front. I added some purple sequins in a lighter color around the sentiment.

All of the release is now available in the CAS-ual Fridays Store under the NEW section. Use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total order.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Tune in tomorrow for day five of the new release!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Day 3 of the March Release: Serendipi-tea Stamp and Teapot Fri-Dies

Happy Hump Day!!

Today I am showcasing another stamp and die set from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March release. The ink squad created projects using the "Serendipi-tea" stamp set and "Teapot Fri-Dies."

I created a card thank you card using these two products.

I started off this card by stenciling a lace sentiment on a white A2 card base in pink. I then stamped the sentiment form the "Serendipi-tea" stamp set in pink.

I adhered a white doily on the card front. I stamped and die cut a teapot and teacup on white card stock. I used Copic markers to color the images in.

I adhered the die cut images onto the card. I used foam adhesive to pop the teacup on the card front. I coated the hearts in clear sparkle marker and glossy accents. I thought the glossy accents would make the hearts look like porcelain.

Tune in tomorrow for a project using the new "Pretty Passover" and "Star of David Fri-Dies."
